What you need
- A Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later — Apple silicon and Intel both work — or a PC running Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).
- An AiM lap timer with WiFi. Built and tested against the Solo 2 DL; other AiM loggers work for most things.
- Optional: any action camera or phone for video — GoPro, Insta360, DJI, or anything else that produces a normal video file. On Windows, footage from recent GoPros is HEVC: install Microsoft's HEVC Video Extensions to play it.
Install
On a Mac
- Download the disk image from aimmac.app.
- Open it and drag AimMac to your Applications folder.
- Launch it. The app is signed and notarized, so macOS opens it without warnings.
The first time you connect to a device, macOS asks for Local Network permission. Allow it — without it AimMac can't see your logger.
On Windows
- Download the installer from aimmac.app — the site offers it automatically on a PC.
- Run it. It installs AimMac for your user account only, so it doesn't ask for an administrator, along with the Windows App Runtime from Microsoft that the app is built on.
- Launch AimMac from the Start menu.
If Race Studio 3 is installed on the same PC, the first launch offers to bring your sessions over — see Importing Sessions.
